Corrupt politicians or Corrupt people of India

Now days whatever goes wrong people blame on politicians the truth is most of so called corrupt politicians are 100% Honest in the Corruption. But who's fault is this, lets blame it on politicians but the truth is
 It is we Indians who give black money to all the Government servants and blame the politicians. Hence, the question should have been who are giving black money all over India to Government officials. (including politicians) The answer you will get is most of the Indians are corrupt but blame game falls on top of the politicians.
During my life time, I wish to see one person in India who have not given any money in BLACK to any Government officials.

I am not interested in taking any Government of India posts due to the only reason that I will be branded as the corrupt Government official or corrupt Indian politician.

 I wish to inform the readers that corruption is killing the nation in all fronts of developments. If India has to become developed nation Indians should not be corrupt.

Indians indulge in corruption since they want to get the jobs done quickly - the poor Indian people don't have time to waste inside Government offices. Since Indians majority of them are poor, work very hard for their life and living essentials like food, clothing, shelter, medical expenses and these poor people 90% of Indian population cannot go on wasting their precious time.



When the Indian Government is unable to service more than one billion population Indian people indulge in corruption for quick services from the Indian Government staff as a means of solution. But the Indian people don't know that corruption will destroy the nation India.Poor management and greed is the truth.
Corruption is not always about money. Abusing power is also corruption.

Indira gandhi stands first as most corrupt politiican.
Next rajeev gandhi, who became PM from being airplane pilot
Sonia who is shamelessly recommending her son.

next comes people who eat public money.
I think its Lalu prasad yadav
In andhra pradesh, its YS Jagan, who has atleast billion dollar worth business, from being nothing just 10 years ago.
Please check the list below in alphabetical order, by corruption I don't mean only financial corruption but anti national policies is also corruption IMHO.

1. Abdul Rehman Antulay -- anti-national
2. Amar Singh -- anti-national, pro terrorism, highly corrupt
3. Arjun Singh -- castist
4. Asaduddin Owaisi -- anti-national
5. J Jayalalithaa -- populist, corrupt

8. Mamata Banerjee -- populist, kicked out TATA, nexus with Maoists
9. Mulayam Singh Yadav -- anti-national, pro terrorism, highly corrupt
10. Mayawati -- worshipping her own statutes
11. Raj Thackeray -- dividing Indians

ANOTHER TALE FROM INCREDIBLE INDIA: THE DEATH OF A PRIME MINISTER

ANOTHER TALE FROM INCREDIBLE INDIA: THE DEATH OF A PRIME MINISTER

Mystery surrounds the fate of not only Subhas Chandra Bose, but also the death of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.

 Diplomat's diary | Rai Singh

India is one rare country where mysteries continue to shroud the deaths of top political leaders. In a way, it is not surprising that a definite conclusion is still eluding the Netaji disappearance controversy. Subhas Chandra Bose's disappearance occurred at the end of second world war when India was under the British rule. Subhas had engaged himself with the Japanese and later in August 1945 he had escaped to the Soviet Union. So, the mystery about his disappearance is understandable -- because the sources of information available at that time, and thereafter in the Soviet Union, were few and far between. 

 

But the controversy about the death of Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri in Tashkent (now in Uzbekistan) is in a different league altogether. Mystery surrounds Shastri's death due to several reasons -- foremost being the absence of a proper medical report stating the cause of death. It is all the more puzzling because Shastri's personal physician had accompanied him to Tashkent, then in the USSR. But he did not ensure a proper medical investigation. It is rumoured that he was drunk at that time. Though a post-mortem report was given by the Soviet authorities at Tashkent, nothing was done in India to determine the exact cause of the Prime Minister's death despite tell-tale signs of poisoning.

It was very baffling indeed why such indifference was shown when three Cabinet Ministers -- Jagjivan Ram, YB Chavan and Swarn Singh -- were present in January 1966 at Tashkent, where Shastri breathed his last.

According to the Soviet sources, a glass of milk was bought for Shastri by personal servant of Indian Ambassador TN Kaul. This personal servant, Jan Mohammad, was never questioned or interrogated by any one in the Soviet Union or in India despite his being the prime suspect. This is indeed mystifying, because just after consuming milk Shastri complained of "pain in the chest" and "difficulty in breathing." Thereafter the Prime Minister slipped into coma. The Soviet doctors were called in and they pronounced him dead.

At present, it appears that no headway can be made in inquiring into the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri. Nonetheless the incident warrants a through inquiry so that adequate measures can be taken to safeguard the Prime Minister during his/her visits abroad.

Rai Singh, a former Director of the erstwhile Information Service of India, had worked with late Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.

Chinese must junk misconceptions about Subhas Bose

Chinese must junk misconceptions about Subhas Bose

The lopsided view about Subhas Chandra Bose, taken by Indian historians and politicians alike, directly affected the Chinese notion about Bose.

Professor Priyadarsi Mukherji

The colonial era in India and the semi-colonial phase in China saw a series of cooperation and exchanges between the two peoples. The colonial domination by the British over India and China brought about misery and therefore prolonged struggle for freedom. However, certain misconceptions have been noticed, and to a great extent deliberated, so far as the Chinese interpretation of the Indian freedom struggle and some Indian political figures are concerned.

We all know that an Indian medical mission was sent to China in 1938. But the Chinese historians have chosen to emphasize that it was sent by Jawaharlal Nehru. Whereas, the person solely responsible for sending the mission along with an ambulance, after having collected a sum of Rs 22,000 on the All-Indian China Day and China Fund days on July 7-9, was none other than the President of the Indian National Congress -- Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. He had made an appeal to the people through a press statement on June 30, 1938. In Modern Review he wrote an article on Japan's role in the Far East and denounced her assault on China, "our whole heart going out to China in her hour of trial". Therefore, the Chinese assertion is wrong and biased.

Bose in his broadcast from Berlin on May 1, 1942 agued saying, "Those were the days when Marshal Chiang Kai-shek was fighting for his national principles and that was why he could win sympathy of Indians in an overwhelming degree. But the Marshal who came to India the other day to ask the Indian people to fight for England was quite a different man, a puppet of the Anglo-American forces.

One should notice that Bose while touring the Japanese-occupied South-East Asia in 1943, had been quite active in saving the lives of several ethnic Chinese from Japanese atrocities. Yet Marshal Chiang and later the communists branded Bose as a "traitor". Ironically in September 1931 when Chiang gave up the whole of north-east China to Japanese occupation, he was branded by the communists as a "big traitor" (maiguozei). Later his aligning with the Anglo-American forces brought him closer to his arch enemies, the communists, ofcourse, temporarily.

While professing national salvation and frequently visiting India for more funds, Chiang Kai-shek conveniently chose to ignore the cause of Indian freedom from the British yoke. The "egalitarian" worldview of the communists too failed to extend the logic of national liberation in the case of India. As Bose was vilified as "the running dog of Tojo" in his own motherland by the communists, on the other hand his goodwill for all freedom-loving people was conveniently disregarded by the Chinese historians in the name of his alliance wit the Japanese fascists without going into the truthful details.

Even our scholarly historians have been quite unfair and ruthless while dealing with Bose. They did not want to take cognizance of Netaji's serious differences with Hitler and later with the Japanese military authority. Netaji had a one-point programme in his life, the complete independence of India.

... In this world, either total and uncritical acceptance, or total repudiation especially in the political sphere is quite foolish and diehard position. That is exactly what has happened in the Chinese interpretation as well as some Indian outlook about Subhas Bose.

With Nehru at the helm of country, in post-independence India, brutally partitioned by power-hungry statesmen, Bose's name found no significant mention in the pages of modern history of India ... The lopsided view about Bose, taken by Indian historians and politicians alike, directly affected the Chinese notion about Bose. Thus, no genuine effort has been made, either by the Indian government, or by other states across the world, to unravel the mystery behind Bose's alleged disappearance. There is no doubt that the Chinese side too has been affected by such negative approach.

After 1949, despite Nehru's unconditional support to China, the latter hesitated the least to squarely accuse him for perpetrating the border crisis in 1962. His acceptance of Tibet as part of China became less significant for China compared to his sheltering the Dalai Lama. His alliance with the US during the days of Sino-Indian crisis, though viewed very critically, was considered necessary by China so as to counter Soviet Union in the late 1970s.

So, there has been no uniform parameter in China's policies or viewpoints except that with Subhas Bose. If the British intelligence officer Hugh Toye can change his views about Bose and become his admirer, then why can't China? A thorough retrospection as well as introspection are needed in this regard. An objectively realistic vision would help dispel these misconceptions. For that, of course, Bose has to be portrayed in the correct perspective firstly at home. And then we can expect others to follow suit.

There are indeed many aspects in this history of Sino-Indian contacts that remain shrouded in mystery or are simply unexplored. The reasons primarily being the inaccessibility of material, and due to certain erroneous policies of both Indian and Chinese governments so far as mutual perceptions are concerned. New horizons of knowledge and interactive relations must be explored so as to promote greater understanding between the two cultures. A concerted effort is needed to study the primary sources, to do field work, to make a knowledge bank by pooling talents, to translate large number of works and to disseminate and popularise those among general public.

India objects to 'gross inaccuracies' in J&K map on US website

 India on Wednesday took strong objection to the "gross inaccuracies" depicted with regard to Jammu and Kashmir in a map on US State Department website and said it will take up the matter with the American government. 

Map showing LoC in Pakistan not removed from US site

"The Government is aware of the gross inaccuracies in the map of India on the US State Department website. The Government has consistently rejected incorrect depiction of India's borders on maps used by the US Government... We shall reiterate our position to the US," external affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said here.

The US State Department has posted a map of India which reflects the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir with dotted lines, thereby projecting it as a disputed territory.

The MEA spokesperson said India has "used every opportunity to convey to the US side its concern in this regard, and has asked that these maps be corrected."

"The Government takes this opportunity to reaffirm that the entire State of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and has consistently conveyed to the international community that maps of India should depict the boundaries of our country correctly," he said.
 

CIA record captures the spectre of Netaji's return in 1950

In a first instance of its kind, the world's the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has declassified and released to an Indian citizen based in India two records sought under the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The released documents make some interesting comments about India of circa 1950. Main among them is that four years after the reported death of Subhas Chandra Bose, the spectre of his return from the USSR remained strong enough to make many well-off Indians feel jittery. Since the source of CIA's information had to be but a highly-placed individual, the import of his inputs is that the belief of Bose's presence in USSR after his so-called disapperance was equally rooted among the elites, as with man on the street.
The number of documents releases is small, but it nevertheless marks a big leap for our nascent drive for ending the ecessive official secrecy in India. Here's the rub: In the world's leading democracy that is India, declassification remains an anathema -- specially for the intelligence agencies. Going by the present state of declassification, most of us would not live to see the day when R&AW and IB would began declassifying records no longer requiring security protection.



Then, the public memory is still fresh about the brazen manner in which our Government handled the "Russian-angle" finding of Justice Mukherjee Commission. On the other hand, the world's top intelligence agency has by releasing the records displayed the fairness that our government might like to follow. After all, the Government of India and its intelligence agencies are sitting on stockpile of classified information on the man who even in the estimates of his detractors was one of the topmost freedomfighters.
"The Agency Release Panel (ARP) considered your appeal and determined that the document that was initially denied in its entirety can now be released in part, with some information to remain protected from release on the basis of FOIA exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3)," wrote Delores M. Nelson, Executive Secretary Agency Release Panel to Anuj Dhar, author of Back from Dead: Inside the Subhas Bose Mystery. The panel comprising top CIA officers handles the appeals against denial of information under FOIA. Exemptions (b)(1) and (b)(3) are invoked, as was the case in the present case, when the release of information could harm America's national security, including relations with foreign states; and name of the all-important source who provided the information contained in the records.
That the CIA should release the records sought make for a nice gesture indeed given that they were appealed by us to release the records in the interest of Netaji's admirers world over -- including the Americans of Indian origin.
CIA Information Report on the subject "Comments on political situation" [in India and Pakistan] was marked Confidential before it was declassified and sent to Dhar last week. The prevalent marking in those days in the agency were Secret, Confidential, Restricted and Clear. Which would mean that by today's standard, the document was deemed Secret. The highest level these days is Top Secret.
And one of the reasons the document is classified as such is because of the informant who provided the dope to the agency from Delhi. We would never know who this person was because his name and related details have been censored in the sanitized copy released by the agency. But we are not complaining. When the agency initially refused to release the record in the entirety, we implored them to release it in part, blocking out the name of the source that the CIA director is duty bound never to disclose.
For good measures, the markings on the record reveal that the source was "usually reliable" and his opinion was "probably true" -- just one degree below "the truth". With that sort of setting, here's is the crux of the document.
India of 1950 faced -- in source's estimate -- "some real potential danger". That is: Bose "is alive and is in Siberia, where he is waiting for a chance to make a big comeback".
The second record released by the agency is a "Restricted" one-line Information Report acquired in 1948. It speaks of the recurring rumor that Subhas Bose was alive and "active in the underground RSSS movement". In hindsight, one wonders why such a seemingly irrelevant piece of information on a man presumed dead years ago be described by the agency markings as "material requiring special handling"? Could it be that the document formed part of the many more papers on the subject of Subhas Bose mystery which was a rage in India those days?
Getting back to the first document, its source appeared impressed by the popularity of Bose in 1950. He painted this telling illustration: "Recently his life story was told in the Indian movies and I attended several different native theatres to study native reaction. Every time that the actor representing. Bose appeared on the screen, he was loudly applauded. This expression of great enthusiasm clearly indicated to me that Bose is a National hero, and in the eyes of the man on the street, I think he ranks next to Ghandi [sic]. The native Indian explanation for this is found in the fact that Bose took definite action against British rule."
Interestingly, and incredibly, "several educated Indians" told the source of their fear of the USSR sending "an imposter for Bose into India". "If Bose or an imposter should return, it is probable that a great many of the people would accept his leadership," source averred.

2012: World Won't End

2012: Beginning of the End or Why the World Won't End?

This data is from Nasa

Scenes from the motion picture "2012." Courtesy Columbia Pictures. Remember the Y2K scare? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation. Impressive movie special effects aside, Dec. 21, 2012, won't be the end of the world as we know. It will, however, be another winter solstice.



Much like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed and the science of the end of the Earth thoroughly studied. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, the science behind the end of the world quickly unravels when pinned down to the 2012 timeline. Below, NASA Scientists answer several questions that we're frequently asked regarding 2012.

Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

Q: Could phenomena occur where planets align in a way that impacts Earth?
A: There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.

"There apparently is a great deal of interest in celestial bodies, and their locations and trajectories at the end of the calendar year 2012. Now, I for one love a good book or movie as much as the next guy. But the stuff flying around through cyberspace, TV and the movies is not based on science. There is even a fake NASA news release out there..."
- Don Yeomans, NASA senior research scientist Q: Is there a planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru or Planet X or Eris that is approaching the Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?
A: Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.

Q: What is the polar shift theory? Is it true that the earth’s crust does a 180-degree rotation around the core in a matter of days if not hours?
A: A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly, with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn’t cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway.

Earth, as seen in the Blue Marble: Next Generation collection of images, showing the color of the planet's surface in high resolution. This image shows South America from September 2004. Q: Is the Earth in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2012?
A: The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.

Q: How do NASA scientists feel about claims of pending doomsday?
A: For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.

› About super volcanoes

Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.

Is BBC's Jeremy Clarkson racist?

Big news for Indian as per one of the news website says

Controversial TV personality Jeremy Clarkson has once again been accused of racism after mocking Indian culture in a 'Top Gear' Christmas Special on BBC.

Viewers were furious after Clarkson staged a series of Carry On style digs at India's trains, toilets, clothing, food and history, The Daily Mail reported.

At one point, the controversial presenter ridiculed the unhygienic conditions and lack of sanitation among the poor by driving around the slums in a Jaguar fitted with a toilet.

A spokesman for the BBC said they have been 23 complaints about content "offensive to India" in the programme, which was broadcast on Wednesday evening.

As per me, there was nothing racist in that show  

He never implied people of Indian race are unclean. I am sure he doesn't think the Indians living in UK, Sri Lanka, Australia, etc are unclean.
He is only saying people in India are unclean, which is a fact. No need to call this racism, perhaps nationalism because he is degenerating a nation but not a race. But face it guys, India is dirty.Even middle class people live dirty lives in India. It is time to face the facts....India is DIRTY and what people of India will do about it nothing there are bins on street but people still throw rubbish on street.
They eat pan and Gutaka ( tobacco ) but they will spit on the streets.
